Superb photo, truly excellent work.

I've only ever seen these sea forts from a ferry. I hope you didn't get your camera full of water swimming that far out to sea 8-)

You are my winner!

Scary and enticing at the same time. If they weren't designed for war, they could seem like so much fun!

Great Shot. I found this after doing a search for Tom Ang - he was my old University course leader at Westminster. Well done on the Britain in Pictures thing.

Good piece of history captured - but the capture itself is also brilliant. The perspective makes them huge and almost surreal, wonderful colours of blue in contrast with the white/rust, and the shadowy one on the right gives good depth to the picture. No wonder it did so well (judging form your description). My compliments.
